Nice script SoLiTuDe. I’m sure I’ll find a use for it.

Here’s a little explosion I’ve been working on. The burst of flames near the end was a mistake I made when continuing the simulation but mostly what I’m looking to achieve is that huge rolling explosion effect. Feedback would be great.

Nice, thanks Ian:)

Sorry but what the f—s the History Script?


#803

Thanks guys I’m glad you found it useful!

http://allanmckay.com/scripts/CFX_FFX-QuickDataOutput_v01.ms <-- allan wrote a script that will output all of your grid data into a text file… so you can store your settings / compare stuff a lot easier. I’m going to (try to anyway) start cataloging my R&D, and this will help a lot. I think it may be possible to write a script that does the opposite, (loads from the txt file) rather than using the fume presets… this way they’re readable on the outside, but you could still load them back into fume (allan, you feel like doing this?). :smiley:
I believe Rif put this in as a request to Kresimir – (make them txt based) so hopefully he adds it to the next release :slight_smile:

I see, thanks, should have read the instructions.doc:blush:, makes good sense, cryptically encoded preset files certainly are restrictive, text-based makes way more sense.

so hopefully he adds it to the next release :slight_smile:

Guess will find out the end of the month, hell you guys probably already know…:D:love:

Schnitz, sorry missed your link, nice volume, great smoke action, the dust may be a little too thick, or maybe not just feel heavy enough, thats just me though. Got the dreaded flicker:D


#805

New FFX coming out?! What does it do?!


#806

:deal: <-- NDA’s man! NDA’s! :smiley:


#807

Oh no, mr Farnsworth. Good news, everyone, you’re all fired for incompetence :smiley: No NDA over rumors, ain’t it so :slight_smile:


#808

Thanks for the feedback.
Should have an update to it soon. Just waiting for a new shockwave to sim cause I wasn’t really feeling the last one either. Made a few changes to the fireball too.
I figured that flicker was just something wrong with my render settings. Is this a very common occurence because I rarely notice it?

Hey guys…Great new…Brandon’s site is back on…

http://brandonriza.com/3DVisualEffects/HTML/3DVisualEffects.htm

Regards,
Entrancea

PS:-Ian if you could give this message to Brandon for me then just tell him that I absolutely loved those photographs he has taken…too good…Eye Candy stuff…


#810

Entrancea: No prob dude! I had actually noticed his site was down about an hour before you posted that. I guess the hosting company was 'tarded and screwed something up, but they got it all worked out now. Yeah his photos are awesome! I’ll let him know you want to make love to them. :smiley:


#811

i come first :smiley:


#812

If only I wasn’t broke and didn’t own a failure of a computer would I enroll in Allan’s FumeFX CG Workshop. :cry:

*Continues to wait for that FumeFX DVD


#813

Particlebombn’ goodness!

I agreee great stills too, some early mornings in there:thumbsup:


#814

Ian: :twisted:…You bad a**…maybe I have been layin low for some time…but that doesn’t make me that desperate dude!:D…But hey…look on the plus side…You still got Psycho around haven’t you?

Psycho: Dude…Best of luck with those still:buttrock:…Convey my feelins to them…

Johnny: “Aaaaahhh!The sun shining down on my face…the waves splashing on the rocks…the cool sea breeze flowin around…the sweet seagulls flying high in the sky…Wait!!Whats that???..poop!!..and bombing tards on my face”…I mean come on guys nature is nice…but you gotta count in the mishaps that could happen…:smiley:

By the way…I just got my new machine…Intel Core2Quad…4 CPU’s with 2.4 Ghz each…4GB of Ram and an Nvidia Quadro…:applause:…

But the sad part is that XP 32bit is recognising only 3gb of Ram:sad:…Do you guys know a way to increase this to 4gb?

Cheers,
Entrancea


#815

Go with XP64! :slight_smile: There’s a lot of info about 32bit windows with 4 gb of ram… it can a pain in the ass to say the least – look up /3gb switch and you’ll find a lot of info! Good luck man!


#816

Wow Subhroji!..i want machine like that. Yeah go for XP64 bit for more ram, Max runs absoultly fine on it.


#817

Yeah I guess I’ll have to go for a dual boot system with both XP 32 as well as the 64bit versions…so then I’ll be doin all the simming of Fume or Realflow on the 64bit and the rest of the stuff on 32 bit…Aaaaggghhh…that means I’ll have to reinstall all the softwares and plugins again…Thats such a drag :smiley:

Entrancea


#818

i want fume to be able to sim from negative timeline values :frowning: like -150 > 350…


#819

#820
